About Joanna
Joanna Walsh is a counsellor and a member of NCPS with three years' experience, working in the United Kingdom with people facing trauma, grief, neurodiversity and disconnection. She supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and life changes. She also lists work around parenting, sleeping difficulties, career concerns and relationship issues.
Jo uses talking therapy alongside creative, art-based methods when words feel hard to find. Sessions look at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. Joanna helps people identify protective patterns that no longer serve them and considers alternatives that might feel more manageable.
Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural ideas, and psychodynamic thinking. Trauma-focused methods are also part of her practice when past harm is a central issue. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and reviews the best ways to work together as sessions progress.
Jo supports people adjusting to an autism or ADHD diagnosis and those coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress or the aftermath of sexual assault and domestic violence. She also offers coaching-style support for life purpose and midlife questions.
Sessions are conducted in English and align with the NCPS membership noted above. For practical steps to begin, users are asked to use the site matching tool to choose counselling options and schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience and emphasizes listening and acceptance. It helps when someone needs space to talk and to feel understood without pressure to perform.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It is practical for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and everyday coping strategies.
Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to past relationships and patterns that shape current reactions. This can be useful when long-standing patterns or early life experiences affect present-day relationships and self-view.
Choosing the right approach is something the counsellor and client do together. Joanna will discuss what feels helpful, try different ways of working if needed, and review progress as sessions continue to find a good fit.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the options offered before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit around work or caring commitments, and it can make shorter check-ins or sessions outside usual travel time more practical. If you need to know whether video, phone or text formats are available, check the booking details or the matching questionnaire on the site.
